Ellie Rowsell - Soapy Water lyrics

[Verse 1] I wash my face with soapy water Disguise the tears cause you're somebody's daughter And they don't ever wanna see you cry Anxiety's grip is always waiting to take me It sits in my stomach, I fear it's starting to shape me It's hard to live when you're scared to die [Chorus] If I'm gonna sit and wait then I might as well Ask for the hand of the Devil himself I thought I heard her laugh but it was hard to tell So look into my eyes and see how close I am to crack But they just say hello and never look back I thought I heard them talk but it was hard to catch [Verse 2] Superstition has me out of control Touch my head and bless my soul I pray it ain't a feeling, but my soul is just old Cause nothing heals misery's fist No witch's pill, no lover's kiss If life is easy then what is this? [Chorus] If I'm gonna sit and wait then I might as well Ask for the hand of the Devil himself I thought I heard her laugh but it was hard to tell So look into my eyes and see how close I am to crack But they just say hello and never look back I thought I heard them talk but it was hard to catch [Bridge] Light a smoke, put it out Search for rooms, out of town Start again, cut your hair You've wondered love, but it's hard to care (I'll care, I'll try to care) Choose a religion, choose a goddamn sport Go find something to eradicate these thoughts You might not waste time, and keep good health But that's not it, there's something else [Chorus] If I'm gonna sit and wait then I might as well Ask for the hand of the Devil himself I thought I heard her laugh but it was hard to tell So look into my eyes and see how close I am to crack But they just say hello and never look back I thought I heard them talk but it was hard to catch
